In the middle of the table is a round food tray with five kinds of fruits
on it.

They are:

a. Apple
b. Banana
c. Strawberry
d. Peach
e.Orange


Which fruit will you choose? Please think VERY carefully and don't rush
into it. This is great, I was astounded! Your choice reveals a lot about
you!



Test results: Please SCROLL DOWN.
















If you have chosen:

a Apple: That means you are a person who loves to eat apples
b. Banana: That means you are a person who loves to eat bananas
b. Strawberry: That means you are a person who loves to eat strawberries
d. Peach: That means you are a person who loves to eat peaches
e. Orange: That means you are a person who loves to eat oranges

I hope you find fulfilment in this new insight about yourself. May it
bring you peace and understanding, tranquillity and all that other
profound stuff.

Also, I'll bet that right now you would like to find me and kick me in the
a$$.

Well, You won't find me....because I am still hunting down the person who
sent this to me.............

An incorrect one?

Wikipedia (ok, not the most authoritative source), says:

A banana is a herb, in the genus Musa, which because of its size and structure, is often mistaken for a tree. It is cultivated for its fruit, which bears the same name.
The term banana is applied to both the plant and its elongated fruit (technically a false berry) which grow in hanging clusters, with up to 20 fruit to a tier (called a hand), and 5-20 tiers to a bunch.


The American Heritage dictionary says:
1. Any of several treelike Asian herbs of the genus Musa, especially M. acuminata, having a terminal crown of large, entire leaves and a hanging cluster of fruits.
2. The elongated, edible fruit of these plants, having a thick yellowish to reddish skin and white, aromatic, seedless pulp.


Nothing about it being a spice in either.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb

Suggests that a spice could potentially be the fruit of such a plant.
The main point I was making is that it's not strictly a fruit in the biological sense. I don't believe spice is so strictly defined.
edit: bugger, it could be considered a spice if it was dried first. The plant itself is a herb, though the banana itself isn't, as such.

And a strawberry is not actually a berry cos it carries its seeds on the outside, something that no other berry does.
